Love your dance. Love your life.

What's going on in your dance is what's going on in your life.

Do you want to claim your creative voice? Do you want to enjoy meaningful partnerships on your own terms? Do you want to embrace yourself and others with compassion, intimacy, and understanding?

I help clients embrace their dances with curiosity and compassion. I hold a safe space for you to connect with your journey, your body, and your artistic voice. Because we learn best when we play, when we explore, and when we trust ourselves as the authority on what's right for us.

I emphasize active listening, and developing compassionate, clear, and trustworthy communication between partners.

I offer tango therapy, for individuals and couples, online and in person. It's a whole-intelligence way of learning about our relationships with ourselves and with others, becoming mindful of our patterns, and exploring the factors at play in all relationships. Trust, hope, fear, power, faith, curiosity, control, loss, gain, compassion, joy, vulnerability, social mores, old family stories, communication, need, desire, light and shadow...everything that defines us and everything that defines our relationships shows up when we dance. Stories that words can't reach transform when we explore them with dance.

Dancers trust Jordana’s music. They know that with her as DJ, they can relax and fully commit to enjoying themselves. Each tanda invites a danceable story of connection between partners. The arc of every milonga feels solid, emotionally logical, and timely. And dancers know that they can securely abandon themselves to the delight of the moment, with Jordana’s music to subtly propose the way. This is her greatest gift, and Jordana honors the trust of her dancers with music that touches the soul.

Jordana has been dj’ing and teaching for ten years, in Europe and the United States. She is also a tango therapist, helping people better enjoy their dances, their relationships, and their lives. She is the organizer, teacher, and dj at Milonga el Abrazo Seattle, and makes frequent tango trips up and down the coast.

Cities I've taught / dj'd in: I've Berlin, Chicago, London, Madison, Marin, New Orleans, Oakland, San Francisco, Seattle, Tarbes, Valle d'Aosta, and more.
